TRAVELER 42 FX1

I needed a replacement for a15 year old Eddie Bauer umbrella that had recently broken a rib. I found the lifetek after doing a web search. Although I haven’t had the need to use it yet I’m very impressed with quality of material and construction. I expect to get a long service life from this product.

I love the open / close button...works like a charm !! And xtra sturdy too !♥️

Very nice high quality umbrella

Sturdy folding umbrella. However it is heavy to carry in a bag or in your hand.

Working great.

Cute sturdy good quality umbrella

This is the most amazing umbrella ever. It�s small enough to fit in the water bottle pocket of my backpack. The button mechanism works to open and close the umbrella. It�s very well made and heavy!

Pretty good. Highly recommended!

I was motivated to buy this particular umbrella because of its two year warranty. I was tired of good looking but cheap umbrellas that broke when the wind caused it to blow out.

The real test is how it will function a year or two from now.I bought a Knirps (German) umbrella a number of years ago. That one broke after a few uses. Had it fixed, but it promptly broke again. Better to stick to products that can be serviced in the US.

I use it daily for my walk in the Sun.The fact that it cannot be flipped around and is able to resist high winds makes it truly brilliant.

This product are really worth my money..nice and love it and i purchased another one for my friend

For city living, very practical and sturdy. Works well.

Super high-quality umbrella. I was very surprised at how strong and how fast it opens! It's so simple to use and really does open and close right up until the last moment you go inside.

This an excellent light umbrella. My only problem is that I have lost two of them. Sturdy and good in wind. It is best in its class in my experience.

Sturdy, definitely would hold up to heavy rain and wind.Happy with this choice.

Bought it for my husband

It�s been put to the test this winter and so far it has served me well. I have opted for a good in strong winds as I don�t think it could stand the blasts. However, it holds up well in average wind conditions.

Love it!

A must for travel. Folding auto open and close

product fine... anything shipped by USPS too often results in a delay or lost package

Strong and sturdy build quality. Easy to open and close quickly. Awesome coverage. RECOMMENDED!!

I understand that this is supposed to be light weight for traveling. But it was even smaller than expected.The handle is a little wobbly, but I haven't had any problems thus far.I bought another umbrella just to see if I could find something that covered me better from rain.

The umbrella fits perfectly in my laptop messenger bag and seemed to be well made the past few times that I had to use it. I spent the first 20 minutes after opening the package playing with the open and close button, great product! I really like the dark blue color that the umbrella came in too, it�s different but doesn�t stand out too much.

Love it. It's great in the wind and very quick to deploy/fold. It's lightweight and compact. It's just the right size for one person on a crowded street. It keeps me dry without poking anyone else's eyeballs. And the price is right.

Small fit for travel!

It's a good, solid little umbrella. I have had to use it on a windy day and it held up just fine.

unit arrived on time. Opened and immediately new this was a very sturdy reliable and great feature auto open and closer. I am very satisfied with this umbrella but wanted something bigger. so I gave it to my roommate for xmas it was raining and I ordered another brand larger from another company. compact lightweight sturdy construction.

Best umbrella I ever seen.this is very strong and comfortable.I didn't use this but I can expect when I receive this.

Very good umbrella would definitely recommend. Ordering another one

My husband likes the sturdy closure mechanism as well as the width of the canopy. ,Another top seller umbrella is not teflon repellent, has pin holes thruout and he was glad to get the Lifetek umbrella this year. A better future ahead of him!

Great

Excellent quality...all works smoothly.

I bought the larger size, and it is absolutely perfect -- solid construction, good materials, the collapsible arms seem very durable. It is heavy though!

This umbrella is fantastic!! It is very light, easy to carry and so sturdy. I highly recommend for everyday use and traveling.

A little pricey, but worth it.

Well built and value priced!

Exactly what I expected; lightweight, compact, little umbrella for my travel to Europe.

It works as advertised. I didn�t get wet. Has held up well for a year.

Great little umbrella! Strong and sturdy!

My senz umbrella broke because I dropped it on its head and that made the mechanism inoperable. I bought this because it was a good price, seemed sturdy and had good reviews. It has lived up to it quite well so far. It holds its own in a good windstorm and has good protection. It is not the lightest one however that is a sacrifice you will have to make for the sturdiness. I travel weekly and if fits in a tote bad, length wise, (which fits under the seat in front of me on an airplane)

Does its job very wellWould recommend

This umbrella is much better than the ones you might get a most sporting goods stores...Very well made.

Just as described perfect in every way

Great product. Keeps the rain off, dries fairly quickly and easy storage. The perfect size to put in your side door in your car on that rainy day

Absoultly amazing product. I've had mine on standby in my car and have not been dissapointed. Elegent, lightweight, strong arms and the button release makes for ease of use when moving in and out of the rain. Springs mechanism seem to been really sturdy (kinda worried at first). Excellent product.

Works great so far. Convenient and sturdy.

As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, this umbrella has done well. I�m impressed with its sturdiness in wind, and it�s compact form. I would recommend this to anyone.

Great price, compact, sturdy, easy to slip into a small bag for work in case of rain.

It's little heavier than others, but very strong

Very good umbrella very durable 10 times better then those 2 dollar umbrellas local stores be selling. High quality product will last a long time

During a recent work trip, the product functioned well during a blowing rain storm. No problems, easy to unfurl and fold back when needed.

Liked the umbrella's sturdiness but looking for a lighter umbrella for traveling. will keep it,but found a smaller, lighter umbrella.

Works great

A strong umbrella and has a nice pop up button feature. A little heavier than I would have liked but a substantial improvement over the last umbrella I had.

Great product

Very good umbrella for the price. Good size too

Very good product!!

Great umbrella. Perfect for tucking away in a vehicle's door or other nook, in the event of an unexpected shower! Thank you.

Great compact size. The spring loaded mechanism is strong. Fully opens fast and closes fast too. Handle is comfortable for long walks under the rain.

Finally had a couple of rainy days, so I could try my new umbrella. It is sturdy and held up well against the rain and the wind.

Incredible! I hate buying an umbrella from grocery stories every week and have it be terrible in the wind etc and break by the end of the week. This is quality

I expected the umbrella to be much lighter in weight since it was advertised as a travel umbrella. However after examining it, I found it probably has to be this weight to be windproof. The wind always bothers me when using a flimsy umbrella, so overall I am pleased. It opens and closes very easily. Probably the sturdiest umbrella I have used.

Big difference and Premium Quality. Big difference and Premium Quality. We have always purchased the cheap compact umbrellas in the past. They’re ok at best and tear up quickly.Lifetek umbrellas are premium quality and workmanship. You will notice immediately that these are high umbrellas. Purchased one and was so impressed I ordered another one.

Love the color and function of it. I'll keep buying these quality umbrellas over and over again as needed.

Bought this for my son. When it arrived, I wanted it for myself. It's a very nice umbrella and it is not too big. It's just right.

I actually bought one for my son once I received mine. I love the compact design and it is sturdy- even in the wind.

Great umbrella for our Pacific Northwest weather ~ rain and wind! I keep it handy in my car. Love the wind flow feature.

Love this umbrella. I keep it in my commuting backpack, and it has saved me on multiple occasions.

I�ve bought small umbrellas before for travel, but they were always too small when spread to be practical. Used this in FL when a hurricane was coming. We were on the outside of it. It lasted in the wind and covered both my friend and I comfortably.

Perfect for my use in the city

Everything I hoped for and no Tumi price

I just got to try out my umbrella and what surprised me was how quickly it dried. Like, in a rain storm that starts and stops, I can pop it in and out without worrying too much of it soaking my bag

This umbrella is easy to deploy and easy to close...holds up to brisk winds too...I highly recommend

My first umbrella ever I think it�s neat how it opens so quickly by itself I enjoy it !

We've had this awhile now... It has stood up to New England weather very well.

I like this umbrella.

Good quality umbrella for the price. Easy to open and close. Also like the carrying bag. I have no dislikes.

I have not used it, but I like it better than a Repel umbrella that was given to my wife. This LifeTek umbrella is slightly lighter, feels better in the hand and is much easier to get back into the sheath.

GREAT PRICE, FAST SHIPPING

This umbrella primarily stays in my car, ready for those surprise showers! The absolute, most important feature is the 'push-button-to-close' one for use with a vehicle. All travel umbrellas have a 'push-button-to-open' feature where you stick the umbrella out of the slightly opened door of your car (in the rain), push the button to open the umbrella, then finish opening the door and get out of the car while remaining under the opened umbrella. Okay, no big deal. The big deal here is the opposite action, when you come back to your car in the rain, open the car door, sit down in your car seat while holding the umbrella up and outside the door, close the door most of the way, and hit the button again, and voila....the umbrella collapses back down where you can get it into the car and shut the door easily. You will have to (later) push down on the center spine/handle of the umbrella to 're-load' the tension for the next use.The only slight negative is that for pure travel purposes, the umbrella is a bit bulky and heavy for its size, but it is strong and seems to last a long time, so for me and for my purposes, that is just fine.

The best little umbrella that I ever owned! I keep one in the car and goes in my everyday backpack

I expected the umbrella to be much lighter in weight since it was advertised as a travel umbrella. However after examining it, I found it probably has to be this weight to be windproof. The wind always bothers me when using a flimsy umbrella, so overall I am pleased. It opens and closes very easily. Probably the sturdiest umbrella I have used.

What a wonderful umbrella! Will definitely buy again. Highly recommend!

I so love this thing. I live in Portland....So it gets used a lot

Looks good. Arrived on time. Compact fits in backpack. It�s lightweight. I�m satisfied

Really easy to use. Perfect for getting in and out of the car.

This is a nice umbrella that stands up to strong winds. Small when it is closed. The only thing I don't like is umbrellas that rapidly pop open when you hit the release button.

Nice quality umbrella. Very sturdy, opens and closes with precision. Love the slat on the top so that wind can pass through and protect it from inverting. Coverage is good. Downside for the sturdiness is that it is a bit on the heavy side. However, I'll gladly take the few extra ounces to have an umbrella that can (hopefully) stand up to stormy weather.

My first umbrella after moving to New York from Hong Kong. Bought this after making a Google search for best umbrellas for New York. The feeling in the hand is great. It�s a bit heavy but an amazing stable umbrella. I wish there was a way to hang it to my back pack instead of putting it in.

Umbrellas, especially umbrellas designed for convenience and travel, are not a lifetime investment. I would say that this Life Tek umbrella is well designed, sturdier than most, and a bit eye catching. My only reservation is the problem of a folding shaft is never as sturdy as a solid one piece shaft. But, you can�t have it all ! I bought the umbrella for travel in tropical climes. I think it will do well

The umbrella works very well, holds up to wind and appears to be made well. The real reason for this review is the customer service I received for past umbrellas that I had bought from LifeTek. When I had a problem with one of their LifeTek umbrellas in the past they stood behind their product and immediately provided a replacement. With this kind of excellent service, I decided to buy additional umbrellas from them.

I'm not sure how this works, but it works great. The umbrella is plenty wide and has a very sturdy feel. It opens and closes at a touch.It's a bit heavier than I expected, but not too heavy to travel with.

I love this umbrella and plan to travel with it. It's large enough for me and my husband, so we only need take this one umbrella. I love how it closes effortlessly with the press of a button.

So Ive had this umbrella for over 9 months and it has worked as a charm. Even in high winds its sturdiness is reliable. I need to say that this is a one person umbrella, two persons won't fit underneath it and you will get wet. Other than that its a great umbrella.

I've never had an umbrella like this one before...WARNING - VERY POWERFUL WHEN YOU PRESS THE BUTTON...shot across the room.

Opens easily and closes with push of button.

Wind resistance

A very strong umbrella!
